......no one.
The prize for the next drawing, according to the Powerball website, is $1300 million. That's 1.3
billion to the math unchallenged. Apparently the website can't show billion. They said on the news tonight that the billboards couldn't show a billion.
Cash payout is about 800 million. That's close to 500 million after taxes. Even though it's entirely possible that only one person wins it, or for that matter, no one wins it, I expect multiple winners Wednesday night. I can only imagine the shock one would experience if they immediately came into half a billion dollars.
That's reminds me of a story of a woman who won the Powerball many years ago. They asked her what she would do first and she said......."I'll probably fix up my trailer."
